DRAFT at Taproom 27. Hazy mahogany, creamy beige head. Probably, light dark caramel and pink grapefruit and pith - very faint, but then it's served so damn cold! The taste is a Red IPA as before, light pink grapefruit sweetness, dry leaves, good mouth coating pithy bitterness. Easy drinking, with a peasant lightly abrasive mouthfeel. Nice.




PET at home, straight from the tank. Hazy red (mine is straight from the tank), creamy beige head. Latent gusher. The aroma is not strong, but nice - cold grapefruit zest and some mint, caramel. The taste is a balance between crystal and juicy grapefruit, with moderate to strong piney bitterness. The bitterness has that slight medicinal edge that Beermaster lagers have. So, it's more like a red IPA than a brown ale and a pretty decent juicy and bitter one.
